I find this really depressing. Why are a lot of people swayed away from reason by clear charlatans£
Although I know plenty of people who had tentative cultural faith who are now "out" atheists thanks to Richard's book, as well as those by Grayling, Dennett, Hitchens etc; I always assumed that such literature would only confirm the faith of the feeble-minded who probably wouldn't understand the arguments on offer anyway and are happy with easy answers. But to actively be swayed the other way by reason...
